I experienced parasailing for the first time, and I was very moved to see the scenery of Honolulu from the ocean side while flying!! I want to do it again when I go back.

パラセーリング初めて体験しましたが、ホノルルの景色を海側から飛びながら見れてとても感動しました！！また行ったらやりたいです。

It was absolutely amazing.
The breeze from the boat felt great!
It was my first time parasailing, but I really enjoyed it.
It should definitely be an extreme experience.

とにかく最高でした。
船の風が気持ちよかった！
初めてのパラセーリングだったけど楽しめました。
エキストリームにすべきです。

My girlfriend and I had a fabulous trip going out to turtle Canyon snorkel and then sailing afterwards, the crew was very professional and courteous

Great time! Nice, comfortable ride out with great weather. Crew was very accommodating to our little group. We had someone with special needs, and they worked very hard to make her feel safe, comfortable and happy. !000 foot ride, just perfect! Wonderful memories forever!

The staff was polite, and the view was amazing. I got seasick, but I appreciate the good service I received. I would like to use this service again.

スタッフも丁寧だし、眺めも最高でした。
舟酔いしたけど、良い対応してもらい感謝です。
また利用したいと思いました。

The scenery was amazing.
I felt at ease participating because there were people who could speak Japanese.
After riding for two hours, my butt was a little sore, but it was really fun. This soreness is also a good memory.

景色サイコー
日本語話せる方がいて、安心して参加できました
2時間乗ったらおしりがちょっぴり痛いけど、とっても楽しかったです。この痛さもいい思い出です

I participated in this tour for my honeymoon! I was a bit anxious because the trolley driver, the tour guide, and all the other participants were from overseas and spoke no Japanese at all. However, once it started, I found that there were Japanese explanations provided, so it all worked out!

It was my first time parasailing, and I was really nervous, but once I took off, the beauty of the sky and the sea was just amazing. I didn't feel scared at all and was able to enjoy it! I did fall into the sea a few times, but that was also incredibly fun.

The time spent on the boat while others were parasailing was also a blast, and we even had the miraculous appearance of a whale, which really boosted our excitement! They offered photo services for an additional fee, but I received a message saying they might have given our photo disk to someone else when we returned to the hotel. After checking, I was relieved to find out it was indeed our disk.

Although there were a few moments of anxiety, in the end, I had an absolutely fantastic time!

新婚旅行でこちらのツアーに参加しました！！
送迎のトロリーの運転手さん、ツアーのガイドさん、ツアーの参加者の方たち全ての方が海外の方で一切日本語が通じず、少し不安でしたが、実際始まってみると日本語の説明書なども用意されておりなんとかなりました！！
初めてのパラセイリングでとにかくドキドキでしたが、絶叫系が苦手な私でも飛び上がってみれば空や海の綺麗さがとにかく最高で、全然怖さも感じず楽しむことが出来ました！！
途中何度か海に落とされたりもしましたが、それもまた最高に楽しかったです。
他の方がパラセイリングを行っている際にボートに乗っている時間も最高に楽しく、奇跡的にクジラちゃんまで登場で最高にテンションが上がりました！！
別料金で写真の撮影などもしてくれたのですが、ホテルに戻ってから他の方の写真ディスクを渡したかもしれないとの連絡・・・確認すると自分たちのディスクだったので一安心でした。。
少し不安になることもありましたが、結果最高に楽しめました！！

I was able to see it from a pretty good seat nearby. It was full of excitement and I really enjoyed it. The food was also satisfactory, and I think it's worth experiencing at least once.

結構近くの良い席で見れました。迫力満点で楽しめました。
料理もまぁ満足できる内容で、一度は体験してみてもいいのではないかと思います。

My friend and I were completely freaking out before we went out on this tour, but afterwards, we just wanted to go again and again! There is nothing as strangely calming and thrilling than to be in the open ocean with what seems likes hundreds of sharks swimming below you.

With only six passengers, we all got lots of attention and assistance, and during the ride out, our safety guides told us all about the sharks and other creatures we would see as well as what to do while we are in the water. There was not a moment after I boarded the boat that I felt uneasy or unsafe. I knew that the captain and crew had not only our best interests at heart, but the sharks as well.

It was a humbling experience to be in the shark's home and it is something that I will treasure forever!

It was our first parasailing experience. There is nothing scary at all. You would spend one of the best 10min of your life.

I participated in the 11 o'clock session at the end of January with my 2-year-old child.

Since we rented a car and there was no shuttle service, we arrived around 10 o'clock. At the entrance reception, we showed our voucher and received a wristband to confirm our participation.

By 11 o'clock, we had to buy a locker key at the souvenir shop located deep in the park, fill out a waiver, and change into our swimsuits, so it was quite hectic, so please be careful.

Including other families, the children were surprised by the size, height, and atmosphere of the pool, and some started crying or were reluctant. I had to carry my child and distract them with the dolphins to get in.

We entered the pool with the dolphins and took photos in three different poses, and we were able to touch their backs, bellies, and fins a lot. It was a great experience for my child, and I was satisfied.

In the back, there was a course where we could swim together, and it looked like fun. Once my child is a bit older, I would like to try the swimming course together.

1月末に2歳の子供と11時の回に参加してきました。

レンタカーで送迎無しなので、10時ごろ着いて、エントランスの受付でバウチャーを見せると参加者を証明するバンドをつけてくれます。

11時までにパーク奥にあるお土産屋さんのカウンターでロッカーの鍵を買い、誓約書を書いて、水着に着替えなければならず、結構バタバタなので、お気をつけください。

他の家族も含めて子供はプールの大きさ、高さ、雰囲気にビックリして、泣き出したり、嫌がったりしましたね。そこは抱っこして、イルカで気をそらしながら、入りました。

イルカと同じプールに入って写真を3パターン撮って、背中やお腹、ヒレなどたくさん、触る事が出来きました。子供にも良い経験になって、満足です。

奥では一緒に泳ぐコースをやっていて、楽しそうでした。もう少し大きくなったら、一緒に泳ぐコースをやってみたいです。

- If you arrange for transportation, it will be $60 per person, so you can cover the rental car cost.
- We arrived in about an hour from Honolulu.
- We had the early morning plan and departed before sunrise.
- We were the second group, but just before entering the water, the sun rose and it got warm.
- We didn't encounter anything other than the sandbar shark.
- We were packed into a cage with six people, so there were a lot of us and we couldn't move freely.

・送迎を手配すると６０ドル×人なのでレンタカー代が捻出できます
・ホノルルから約１時間で到着しました
・朝イチのプランで日の出前の出港でした
・２組目でしたが、ちょうど入水前に日の出があり暖かくなりました
・イタチザメ以外には出会えませんでした
・ゲージに６人詰め込まれたので、人が多く自由に動けませんでした

I have quite a bit of experience traveling to Hawaii, but this was my first time at Kualoa Ranch. I've always wanted to go, and I finally made it happen this time. I'm so glad I went! I wonder why I didn't come sooner? At the private beach, I relaxed in a hammock, and on the cruise, I even got to see turtles. The location tour was fun, and it was a valuable experience to see the U.S. military bunkers. It was a packed and enjoyable day from early morning until nearly evening.

ハワイ渡航歴はかなりありますが クアロア牧場へは今回が初めてでした。
いつも行きたいと思いつつ、今回やっと実現しました。
行ってよかったです！なんでもっと早く来なかったんだろう？
プライベートビーチではハンモックでのんびり、クルーズでは亀にも会えました。
ロケ地巡りも楽しく、米軍の防空壕を見ることができたのも貴重な体験でした。
早朝から夕方近くまで盛りだくさんで楽しかったです。

I'm not a fan of thrill rides, but I decided to join the 150m attraction at my husband's request for our honeymoon memories. The view was amazing, and I had a lot of fun!

The pickup vehicle was supposed to be a colorful car as stated on the reservation, but in reality, it was just a plain blue car, making it hard to identify unless you actively look for it.

If you let them know you're Japanese, you can get the consent form in Japanese. Also, one of the passengers got seasick and vomited, so taking motion sickness medication is a must.

絶叫系アトラクションは苦手ですが、新婚旅行の思い出にと旦那さんのリクエストで思い切って150mに参加。景色も最高で非常に楽しかったです！
ピックアップの車は、カラフルなロゴの入った車と予約票には明記されていますが、実際はただの青い車で自分からアピールしないとわかりにくいです。
車内で記入する同意書は、日本人だと伝えると日本語版が貰えます。
また、同乗した方は船酔いして吐いていましたので、酔い止め必須です。

This is my second time participating. Three years ago, when I joined, we had to carry the surfboards from the shop to the beach ourselves, which was quite heavy and challenging. However, it has improved, and now we only need to transport them from the car parked by the beach to the water's edge! This is much easier.

I signed up for a group lesson, but since there were only two of us that day, it turned into a semi-private lesson, which was lucky. The timing was perfect, and I was able to stand up properly from the first try! The instructor spoke mostly English, but once we were out in the water, we only needed to use commands like "paddle" and "stand," so it wasn't a problem if you didn't speak English. Occasionally, they checked on us in a mix of Japanese, asking things like "Are you tired?" (laughs).

The group doing stand-up paddleboarding at the same time also let us surf towards the end. All the staff were friendly, and I had a great time participating again.

2度目の参加です。3年前に参加した時はサーフボードをショップからビーチまで自分たちで運ばなければならず結構重くて大変だったのですが、改善されてビーチサイドに止めた車から波打ち際まで運ぶだけで良くなっていました！これは楽チン。

グループレッスンを申し込みましたがこの日は二人だけだったので、セミプライベートになりラッキー。タイミング良く波に乗せてくれるので、1回目からちゃんと立つことができました！
担当してくれた方はほとんど英語ですが、沖に出てしまえば「漕いで」「立って」くらいしか使わないので英語が出来なくても問題ないです。時々日本語まじりで「ツカレタ？」などと気遣ってくれました(笑)
同じ時間にスタンドアップパドルをしていたグループも最後の方にはパドルを置いてサーフィンをさせてくれていましたよ。スタッフは皆フレンドリーで今回も楽しく参加できました。

We had a blast with the Holokai Catamaran. The crew was fantastic, and we saw lots of marine life including whales, turtles, and even an octopus. My only regret is that we didn't have time to book a sunset cruise on this trip.

I would like to introduce a great value optional tour among the many available in Hawaii. This time, I focused on "Horseback Riding in Hawaii!" while comparing various optional tours. And what I found was this plan!

1. First, the iconic "This Tree, What Tree" at "Moanalua Gardens" (it’s said that the Moanalua Gardens tour will no longer be available after April 2016, so be sure to see it soon).
2. Next, enjoy Hawaii's specialty pineapple at the "Dole Plantation."
3. Then, at the "North Shore," encounter the elusive "sea turtles" (they were huge! I could almost ride on their backs).
4. For lunch, we had a recommendation from our guide for a hidden gem "delicious shrimp restaurant" (so good! Lightly seasoned for $11).
5. The much-anticipated "horseback riding"… Unlike other horseback riding optional tours that just walk along the coast for 40 minutes, this tour takes you through varied landscapes like hills, valleys, and bamboo groves, allowing you to enjoy the rhythm of the horse for a full 90 minutes in nature. Local staff support you at the front and back of the line, ensuring safety. The horses are wild yet generally calm, and there were many female groups participating (however, those over 100 kg are not allowed; we don’t want to hurt the horses).

**Note:** If you ride properly, there are no issues, but if you mess around or let go of the reins (like taking photos), you could fall off and get seriously injured (which is why you have to sign a waiver before riding).

So, how much is this packed tour? An incredible $165 per person! (Of course, it includes a Japanese-speaking guide, tips, and hotel pickup). You will really understand how great of a deal this plan is if you take the time to compare it with other tours!

Let’s not be lazy and look for "other tours" too! That way, you’ll realize that "what Yamachan said was true." If you find any other great deals, please let me know! Let’s share good information! Aloha~

◆数あるハワイの「オプショナルツアー」で、お得感のある（支払に対して満足感が高い）ツアーを紹介します。今回は「ハワイで乗馬！」を主目的に、様々なオプショナルツアーを比較しながら探しました。そして見つけたのがこのプラン！　①まずお決まりの「この木なんの木」の「モアナルアガーデン」（2016年4月以降はモアナルアガーデンツアーは無くなる、との事で早めに見納め）②続いて「ドールプランテーション」にてハワイ特産のパイナップルを堪能　③続いて「ノースショア」にて、遭遇が難しい「うみがめ」対面（デカッ！ いました いました 背中に乗れそう）④昼食はガイドさん推薦の「隠れ家的」な「絶品シュリンプ料理店（うまい！あっさり味付けで11ドル）」⑤お待ちかね「乗馬」…海岸沿いをただ、てくてく歩く「他の乗馬オプショナルツアー（40分）」と違い、このツアーは起伏に富んだ「山あいや谷？や竹やぶ等、いわゆる自然の中を悠々と馬の鼓動を聞きながら（それも90分ですぞ！）、乗馬を楽しむツアーです。サポートも現地スタッフが隊列の前後につき安心。馬も野性味があってスリリングですが総じておとなしく、女性グループも多かったです。（ただし100㎏以上の人はNG　馬さんかわいそうだもんね）【注意点】・キチンと乗れば全然問題なしでも、ふざけたり、手を離したり（カメラ撮影等）してると落馬して大怪我します（そのため、乗馬前に「免責証書を書かされる」）
ハイッ！　ここまで盛りだくさんツアーでお値段は？　な、な、なんと一人165ドル！（もちろん日本語ガイドさん付き、チップ込みでホテル送迎付き）このプランがいかにお得（安い）かは、いろいろ時間をかけて「他」のツアーを探して比較してみれば よ～くわかります！
横着せずに「他のツアー」も探しましょうね！そうすれば、「やまちゃんが言っていた事は本当だったんだ」と分かります。もし、他にお得なツアーがあれば、また教えてください！良い情報は共有していきましょう！　アロハ～

My daughter has always dreamed of swimming with dolphins, and although it was a bit pricey, I'm really glad we participated because she was so happy‼︎

Not only did we get to interact with dolphins, but we also had the chance to meet seals and many birds, making it a wonderful experience☆

The timing was just right too^_^

娘がイルカと一緒に泳ぐのが夢で、ちょっと高くて迷いましたが、娘がとても喜んでいたので、参加して本当に良かったです‼︎

イルカだけでなく、アシカやたくさんの鳥たちとも触れ合うことが出来て、とてもいい経験になりました☆

時間もちょうどよかったです^_^

On the last day of our first trip to Hawaii, my wife, who has a fear of heights, wanted to try this, so we ordered it. The staff were very good and we had a great time. I definitely want to challenge myself to 150 meters next time. The driver who picked us up was funny.

はじめてのハワイ旅行最終日前日に高所恐怖症の嫁がやりたいとの事で注文しました
とても良いスタッフの人達で楽しかったです
ぜひまた今度は150mにチャレンジしてみたいです
送迎の運転手のおじさんが面白かったです

Two young women in our tour group mistakenly miscalculated the meeting time, causing us to wait for about 30 minutes. The tour driver, in front of the other passengers, forcefully and aggressively said, "Apologize!!" which instantly darkened the mood. It really dampened the travel spirit we had.

Whether this was due to a lack of prior explanation or unclear communication with the two women (only verbal), I believe there is some fault on the part of the tour company regarding the itinerary. Shifting all the responsibility onto us does not absolve them of their own accountability. I hope there will be no further troubles in the future.

ツアー同行者で若い２名の女性が途中の集合時間を間違えて、30分程度待たしてしてしまった、ツアーのドラバーがほかの同乗者もいる面前で「誤ってください！！」と強く強圧的な言い方でその場が一瞬で気分的にも暗くなってしまい、せっかくの旅行気分に水を差されました。
事前の説明不足によるものか、２名とのやり取りが不明（口頭のみ）ですが、ツアーの工程については業者側にも落ち度があるのではないでしょうか、一方的な責任のん押しつけでは責任回避を免れません。今後のトラブルの無いことをお祈りしています。

I used to scoff at parasailing, but I listened to my wife's wish to try it and took on the challenge for the first time! It was easier than I thought, and once I was up there, I could enjoy a surprisingly peaceful moment with a view of Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, and the blue ocean all to myself. It was amazing! I definitely want to do it again! But if it were a bit cheaper, I would do it twice a day!

パラセーリングなんて？！ってバカにしていたけどどうしてもやりたいと言う妻の希望をきいて初チャレンジ！思ったより簡単で、いざ上に上がってみればそこからはダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキビーチと青い海を独り占め出来る驚くほど静かひととき。最高！是非またやりたい！けどもうちょい安ければ１日２回でもやるんだけどなあ。

We watched a Japanese video at the shop beforehand and then headed to the beach. It was quite tiring, but since it was a longboard, I managed to stand up and ride the waves properly. Everyone was able to ride the waves. Paddling is extremely exhausting. They lend you rash guards and boots. They also burn the images taken at the shop onto a CD and sell them. If you like them and want to buy, it's a good idea to bring some money.

事前にお店で日本語のビデオを見て、ビーチへ。
結構疲れますが、ロングボードなので何とか立てて、ちゃんと波にも乗れました。
全員がちゃんと波に乗ってました。
パドリングが滅茶滅茶疲れます。
ラッシュガードとブーツは貸してくれます。
お店で写した画像をCDに焼いて売ってくれます。気に入って購入する場合もあるので、お金を持って行った方が良いです。

We got great enjoyment from para sailing.
Crew was absolutely splendid. Instructions
were clear and easy to understand.

It was amazing! The ocean was beautiful, and I really had a great time!! I want to go back and jump again when I visit Hawaii!

さいこうでしたぁー！
海も綺麗だし本当に楽しかったです！！
ハワイに行ったらまた飛びたいとおもいます！

Helpful driver(young man but forgot name..sorry). Mosquito repellent and walking stick. Thought about taking bus, but the last stop is a bit of a distance from trailhead. This shuttle expedites the process. Picked up and dropped off at Waikiki hotel. If you have limited time on the island I would definitely recommend this tour. The hike itself is not overly demanding in dry conditions. Wife and I are in 50's and in so-so condition. I thought this was easier than Diamond Head hike, which wasn't difficult either. Probably an entirely different story if wet and rainy. Get off the beach and experience another aspect of the island. Enjoyed it.

Amazing crew and an amazing time! Would definitely suggest to anyone that wants to try parasailing!

We requested parasailing, which my husband wanted to do on our honeymoon. A wild guy came to pick us up, and we were all excited to join among the international crowd! The crew was cheerful, and we soared high, experiencing the best views! I forgot to say "drive please" and ended up in the sea, but it was incredibly fun! I want to participate again!

ハネムーンで旦那さんのやりたかったパラセーリングをお願いしました。pick upからワイルドなおじさんが来られ、みんな海外の人の中でわくわく参加しました！クルーの方も陽気で、たかーく上がり最高の絶景を感じれました！ドライプリーズと言い忘れ海に浸かったりしたけど最高に楽しかったです！また参加したいです‼︎

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE, GREAT FOOD AND BEAUTIFUL SHOW. THE PRICE WAS ALSO VERY GOOD WE WERE ABLE TO SEE THE SHOW UP CLOSE. WOULD BOOK THRU VELTRA AGAIN.

I was thrilled to experience it for the first time! It was a wonderful night where I could really see the difference in the quality of the show. As expected, it was top-notch... I've seen various shows, so I could tell right away (*^-^*). I will definitely come back again!

一度体験してみたかったので感激しました！ショーの格の違いが良く解る素敵な夜でした。
さすがに一流ですね…いろんなショーを見たので直ぐわかりました(*^-^*)
またリピします

I participated in the activity where you can touch and kiss dolphins. My English conversation level isn't very high, and my mother and children can't speak at all. However, we managed to complete it without any issues. There was only one other group of Japanese people with us; everyone else came from various places. I bought a photo as a souvenir to take home♪

イルカにタッチ&ｷｽのアクティビティに参加しました。
私の英会話レベルは高い方ではないし、母と子どもたちは全く話せません。ですが、難なく終えれました。
日本人は私たちと他一組だけで、あとはみなさんｱﾁｺﾁから来た方々でした。記念に写真を買って帰りました♪
